Texas City Plant Union Carbide
BrownfieldTexas City, Galveston, Texas · Union Carbide Corp-Texas City
Texas City Plant Union Carbide is a natural gas plant in Texas City, Galveston, Texas, retired 2014-10-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 40 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
